Ah, cute, floofy kittens. While digesting today’s masterpiece from our beloved cartoonist, I noted (somewhat belatedly) that Randie’s new kitten chum has fur of a similar, though admittedly paler, shade to that of a certain calorifically-named cat. Given my usual mental meandering, I’m inclined to wonder if Twinkie had a paw in Unnamed’s naissance…

I love the word “floofy”…. and to answer your wonderings, Astragali, it wouldn’t surprise me… but I didn’t intend it.
Ha! Serial numbers… we had a small herd of cats when I was little… but they had weird names because my folks weren’t cat people and couldn’t be bothered to name them properly… thus: Mama Kitty, Friendly, Bug Eyes, and Silver. A far cry from Thomas Stearns Eliot, wouldn’t you say?

DadaHyena: Of course – not many hoomins (stole from ICHC this time) are going to go for a creature which is a significant multiple of their size, are they? (I added the qualifier “significant” because people love elephants and whales…)

I understand Randie, that’s almost the exact same reason Sophie got away with eating a hole in our couch when sheh as 20 toys laying around, (only difference is Sophie is a puppy, but she sometimes THINKS she’s a kitty).
